    Hi all, My plans were thrown up in the air as DS2 was rushed into hospital yesterday. We went to see him as soon as we heard. I have a friend who phones me with her troubles for 59 mins at a time and I was listening to her and poor DS2 couldn't get through to us. We still don't know what is causing the problem but he has more tests today. He is 22 and at uni just an hour and a half away so we can get to him easily. I am so glad he is not far away as he was before.
    While we wait for news I will catch up on easy flying as we did

    How lovely :) We've got married but are yet to be handfasted - I got me frock already (heehee) mind you if one more person mentions "skyclad" to me I may wallop them.
    it's great to have such a spiritual bond. Was it a big thing or a simple ceremony?

    Have to be pragmatic about things, this is our second time not quite getting there. Got further than last time.
    Sorry if it did drag up memories for anyone. We dont have any munchkins yet. Which makes it harder. (espsh with little sis giving birth not a week ago for the fourth time)

    Helen jelly hugs! hope you're coping as well as could be expected and that your LO's come to terms with things soon. It sounds sooooo expensive as well. I know what you mean about this thread - I dunno whether folk realise how much it helps x

    Right i best start on the boys room, then need to get the curtain track up in DD's.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
